Kicking it old school - windows 97 style.

Anyone else obsessed with this game as a child?

i liked it don't know if i where obsesed i still have a copy i tihnk.

Oh gods yes. I so miss that and other games from that time. What ever happened to Oregon Trail and Escape Velocity?

Incredible Machine was big when we were in the sixth grade. I used to play the free style mode and come up with as many ways as possible to kill the kid.

Ohhhhhh, yes! I rember that game. I have so many memories of waching my brother play that game.
Whenever I would play it, I would just feed the kid to the crocadile a bunch of times.

Oh man, I used to play that a lot.

I've still got my circa-1996 original Incredible Machine 3.0 CD-ROM with the full musical score (as opposed to MIDI soundtracks common at the time) and voiceovers. One of the nice things about this version was the purely functional (as opposed to "pretty") interface and the ability to create a huge playing field with a high enough screen resolution. Newer versions of the game (e.g. Contraptions) limited the playing field size.

I used to play the original game not long after it came out. It was amazing what you could fit on a single 3.5" floppy.
